End of Cromania, and Croatia's Choice

Day 1,979, 10:57 Published in Croatia Croatia by Arrlo

So, the new generation in Romania and elbandido have finally broken CRomania and EDEN. Once again the messiness of the break up, with Romanians and TWO fighting for Bulgaria to screw Bulgaria and ensure Romania’s MPP with Serbia succeeds, shows that underhand and sneaky methods had to be used to effect the change that some cowards at the top decided they wanted. Such is the game; such is the standard method for countries changing sides. That said, I expect there will be many defections from old friends of EDEN in Romania to Croatia in the coming weeks. I wish new Romania all the best in their future, and will always cherish memories of CRomania, one of the closest, longest running partnerships in the game.

So what does this mean for Croatia?

Immediately we saw many citizens from CoT countries calling for an MPP with Croatia, and some even wanted Croatia to join CoT. These citizens finally realised what TWO has been pushing for for months now, and decided overnight that Croatia should join their club. Well, I don't think so.

It is true that some in Romania have decided to walk away from us. I'm tired of the charged words “traitor” and "betrayal", so I will let everyone judge Romanian action for themselves. Does this mean that we can sever all ties with other friends of ours, in exactly the same position as we are at the moment?

No. In my opinion, we should make absolutely no moves to any new countries without agreement from our current allies. This means declining any invitation to other alliances, and signing no new MPP that conflicts with our current list, which rules out any new ally which would alienate Greece, Turkey, Argentina, or any of our friends.


Just a little hint for an MPP with no baggage

I acknowledge that these same friends face their own, different choices in foreign policy. Some might decide to follow Romania down the path to a different alliance, and that is their right. However, it's not a path Croatia should put her foot on while we still have loyal friends we would hurt by so doing. Let lesser countries abandon their friends.

I came to Croatia because this is not a country afraid to face defeat. We're not scared to stick to our values and stand by our friends. The only positive things from chaos like this is that we get to show our principles in action now. This is no longer me speaking dreamily about noble behaviour or self sacrifice, or regretting the Bulgarian mess with EDEN - this is the reality we face, and it would be easy and self-serving to sign a slew of new MPPs with CoT countries. Let's not take the easy route.

Hail Croatia
Hail all countries loyal to Croatia
Hail turturica!

Just my opinions,
